fenwaydav's Blog

I was reading Joe Battenfeld's blog on Dianne Wilkerson (Bye, Bye Wilkerson).  As I read the responses, I decided I would write one also.  I found I was going on and on and decided it needed a blog of it's own.  Don't get me wrong, I don't want this to sound that I condone what she did in any way.  As a matter of fact, I wrote a piece when the story first broke saying how discusting what she did was. One of the responses In Joe's piece started  "JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL LIBERAL".   Like in the history of the world there has never been a crooked Conservative Republican.  Anyone remember the lines "I AM NOT A CROOK"?   I am sure if I Google crooked Republicans I would get hundreds of pages to go through.

Again what Dianne Wilkerson did was terrible and may even deserve a prison sentence, but now is not the time to gloat.  Those people in her district put their trust in her.  For many years she has done good for them.  What makes a person go bad?  Who knows...Everyone thinks they are going to be the one that gets away with a crime. But to pin this on ALL LIBERALS, is certainly not right either.  God knows how many other's out there will fall from this and other crimes against government.

In a strange way, this reminds me of the Priest Scandal.  One day it was only one Priest who was diddling with boys, the next the whole Church fell.   It's a sad day, when we vote for someone and they let us down.  It has happened before and you can be sure it will happen again.  This crime and other's are  equal opportunity,  Democrat and Republican, Liberal and Conservative. 

One other observation if I may.  Joe you throw these things out here and people fight back and forth.  I find that rarely if ever do you come back to respond to any of the chatter going on.  It's almost like you are sitting back laughing at us.  I hope that is not true.
